I agree with you for * Tiananmen square. Murders against any form of civil disobedience. * Great firewall, general suppression of information from citizens. * Massive amounts of political corruption. * Human rights violations aplenty. These are suffered by the Chinese people, but unfortunately that's not what you really care about...

For the other points, especially the ones with foreign policies, China is much nicer (or you may even say weaker) than other countries. For me, I just hope despite all the political shows, there will be no war nor region conflicts.

Anyways, I guess he's offended by the word "repressive nation", use "repressive government" would be a little better.
